Review-St.Moriz instant self tanning mousse

Hello Princesses :)
How are you?

The weather in England at the moment is BEAUTIFULL! It's soooo hot! The sun is shining so brightly that if you were to lye in it for about an hour i'm pretty sure that you would develop a very natural tan-however, this post is going to be about a product that will give you a natural tan without having to sit in harmful UV rays!

A lot of people in the internet world have raved about the st. moriz instant self tanning products, so i of course had to try it out! There are two types you can get, a mousse or a spray, both costing £2.99 each. This review is specifically about the mousse. I won't talk about how to put it on, i'll do that in a separate post :)

Firstly, what it claims to do:
"creates an instant bronzing effect, providing you with a perfect all over, professional tan"

Does it do this?
I have to say, i think it does!

The tan comes up a beautiful goldon brown colour which looks extremly natural, however it is buildable so if you want to be quite dark you can be. Obviously with any self tanning product there is the possibilty of streaks if it is not rubbed in properly, with this tanner i have not had many problems with streaks and find that it looks very even when i've finished applying it. It dries very quickly and does not take long to rub into the skin. On the packaging it says for best results apply 4-6 hours before showering, and it is right! When i did this the tan looked devine, however i still think it look great when just applying and leaving (if you know what i mean).


As far as the packaging is concerned there is not a lot i can say. I dont love it but nor do i dislike it. It's quite plain but to be honest, does that really matter?
Overall i would give this product 4/5 and i think it is definatly worth trying out! Especially for the price-it's brilliant! I got mine for £2.99 from home bargins.
Thanks for reading,

Fake Bake Experience :)

Hiya Princesses,
So this blog is going to be about fake tan, and specifically fake bake. I'm proberly going to post a few fake tan posts, about different ones you can get and the best ways to apply them yourself without looking to 'fake'.

Fake bake has been voted the best self-tanner you can buy and have professionally done. It combines the agents DHA and Erythulose which means your tan should last 50% longer than it would normally. Madonna and Britany Spears both say that they use fake bake (shows how good it is!). Most beauty therapists are now trained to give professional fake tans using fake bake products and you can also buy the products so you can give yourself a fake bake at home :)

A few weeks ago i had a professional fake bake and have to say it was brilliant! Basically, the beautician just rubs a very brown cream like product all over your body, it takes about 15-20 mins. You can also have a fake bake spray tan. Now, if you are planning on getting this done or doing it yourself make sure you do it late afternoon/evening and plan to have a shower when you wake up in the morning. After you've had it done you will look like you've been dragged through a mud bath, believe me you are NOT going to want to go out anywhere (not even just done the road to the supermarket)!! You need to leave it on overnight and then have a shower and wash it all off in the morning :)

After you've just had it done it will look very dark, uneven, streaky, patchy-basically just everything you don't want a fake tan to look like! However, because it has a colour agent in it when it's all washed off it will be one, even, natural looking colour :)

I really loved mine and definatly plan on having it done again. When i'd washed it off it looked so natural and i got loads of compliments on it :) I really would recomend going to get a professional fake bake or if your experienced with self-tanners or want to try them out then you should buy some of the products for yourself :) I thought it was brilliant :)

Mine cost £20 but the price may vary from salon to salon. It lasted about a week :) For more information go to:
